Solution vocabulary

SOLUTEThe stuff that is dissolvedExample – the sugar and carbon dioxide in pop

SOLVENTThe stuff that does the dissolving, it is found in a HIGHER AMOUNT THAN THE SOLUTE

Example – the water in pop

IN WHISKEY, IF IT IS 60% ALCOHOLAND 40% WATER THEN ALCOHOL

IS THE SOLVENT

SATURATED

HAS THE MOST POSSIBLE DISSOLVEDExample – the CARBONATION in pop

UNSATURATED

DOES NOT HAVE THE MOST POSSIBLE DISSOLVED

Example – the SUGAR in pop

SUPER-SATURATEDHAS MORE THAN THE MOST POSSIBLE DISSOLVEDExample – the CARBONATION in pop RIGHT AS YOU OPEN IT,

WATER AT THE BASE OF A WATER FALL WITH OXYGEN

HOMOGENEOUS

PERFECTLY EVENLY MIXED forever-EXAMPLE - ALL SOLUTIONS

HETEROGENEOUS

NOT PERFECTLY EVENLY MIXED-EXAMPLE - SALAD, COOKIE, NOT SOLUTIONS

CONCENTRATED

LOTSA SOLUTE, LITTLE SOLVENT-EXAMPLE - FROZEN JUICE CONCENTRATE

DILUTE

LOTSA SOLVENT, LITTLE SOLUTE-EXAMPLE - PROPEL, THE DRINK

CAN SOMETHING BECONCENTRATED, YET

UNSATURATED??

HECK YES-EXAMPLE - SUPER TANG, I COULD DISSOLVE

MORE!!

CAN SOMETHING BEDILUTE, YET

SATURATED??

HECK YES-EXAMPLE - AQUARIUM WATER WITH OXYGEN

WHAT IS A LIQUID SOLUTION??

ALL SUBSTANCES ARE IN LIQUID FORM-EXAMPLE - POP, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

WHAT IS A GAS SOLUTION??

ALL SUBSTANCES ARE IN GAS FORM-EXAMPLE - AIR

MISCIBLE, WHATS THAT??

JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR SOLUBLE

TINCTURE??

-EXAMPLE - SALT IS SOLUBLE IN WATER

INSOLUBLE

WORD USED TO DESCRIBE THE FACT THAT SOMETHING WILL NOT DISSOLVE IN SOMETHING ELSE BARELY AT ALL

-EXAMPLE - GOLD IS INSOLUBLE WATER

COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES

PROPERTIES THAT DEPEND ON SOLUTION CONCENTRATION.

-EXAMPLE - FP DEPRESSION, BP ELEVATION

Real world example… antifreeze

Water freezes at 32degF, antifreeze freezes at 14deg F, a 50:50 mixture of water and antifreeze freezes at -28deg F. In other words, DON’T USE PURE ANTIFREEZE!
